Congratulations!!! That is such an accomplishment! Moms are moms- surely u understand. If she's anything like mine, she's all for you loosing weight and getting healthy, but loose too much she's like 'u wanna cookie?' but let your body do its thing. Eat healthy, exercise, live to the fullest. If you lose more- then u lose more. If you stay- then your body may be done. If you gain... Ok, well try not to gain.

OMG- MJOHNSON, I want some... I'd kill for anything mexican

Does it expand in the tummy region too bad?

Congrats! That's an accomplishment!!! We need pics though, girl

My doc said no caffeine for me cause it'd upset my sleeve and stuff. I'd drink it if it was decaf

Oh, wait didn't read the entire post- I'm a bit dyslexic. I never ate what I wasn't supposed to, but when I first got out I followed doc to the letter and still had no weight loss. Definitely reset- get the protein shakes in and let it be a new you

Brea will get ya. If u insis on something, try the pita stuff, but I'd just eat turkey and cheese

I did too and I was upset, my doc said drink more water and just wait, now at week 3 1/2 it's like melting off in my sleep. So it'll come off, just wait, share concerns with NUT and you'll pee out like 3lbs a day

Veronica- let me tell u, pre-op, was rough for me, couldn't talk to me, couldn't reason with me, I was hungry. My poor husband, I though he'd leave an take the baby... Ok so at least sleep on the couch. My coworkers who had no idea had to not talk to me unless it was work related. I did nt socialize, I did no go anywhere I didn't have to. It was bad. But I'm better than that thank goodness.

I follow mamaT's advice. And I have my wonderful hubby- the food nazi

And everything I going great, went back to work fine, love my baby, awesome husband, I have no like real stress or worries, but I just keep needing to break down and cry

3 ish weeks

*raises hand* yep- right here. But I get recipes from some older ladies in church and I will try them. They turn out really good most times. Just keep trying some easy recipes from mom, g-ma, and check out our recipe forum. Hopefully there will be something you'll like and I'm sure you'll make it just right

Wow, this is worse than being pregnant. I think it's the birth control (I've never ha good luck with it) but I'm depressed, overwhelmed, OVER emotional, I take things to heart and my feelings are HURT over everything. I am on anti-depressants from before my surgery. I just can't seem to get happy...

Yeah- I'd agree with jealous. You do what's best for you, and thank her for being concerned.take the high road, then get yourself in a stellar shape and live the healthy life

Girl- let me tell you, mind and mouth and nose are pretty much the same... I want a taco... Mexican in general and I want a McDonald's cheeseburger. But then I stop and think, ok, will this hurt me/ will I regret it? And what would my NUT say. Thats enough toake me stop and think (I'm an impulse eater) and if I think about it, I won't do it. Stay strong!

You guys are doing great! You'll be out and free soon

I'm so excited for you!!! You'll be home and feeling great before you know it. (and dropping weight like nobody's business!)

It's not you, love. It was my work. I work with bariatric patients at a hospital here and a girl who went to one seminar was spreading false info and asked me a question and I answered and she assumed she was still right... It was a misinformation from her that got me and the unwillingness to find for herself or follow mine/the doctors answer. You ask whatever you need to know- you can even pm me of I can help, I will. Don't ever be nervous or feel embarrassed for wanting info to help yourself

I can only get maybe 400 in... Goal is 600

I like it a lot... Except the unflavored.... Eck. Get the little sample packs first.

You've never had a fitting!? You must. a right fit bra will rock your world. You'll feel loads better stand straighter and have the girls in order. I highly recommend doing it.

That'll be the best thing to do, love. No worries, you'll be up to ur old self in no time

Yay!!!

Taking it slow is a hard one for me. I bite- chew to oblivion, wait like two-3 minutes bite again (and yeah, I time it) sounds stupid but I'm getting to where I don't need a timer.
